This not a good site. It takes a long time to load and when it does load the images are blurry. There are other sites that are better for this type of job. |

Animoto is an online presentation tool. It requires a subscription and once subscribed you can only make 30 second videos for free. Otherwise you have to pay for full videos. The program is really neat and one of the best, all you have to worry about is importing the images or words onto animoto and choosing a song (either importing one or choosing one of theirs). After that all you have to do is finish the video and wait for it to complete creating it, animoto will automatically take the song and adapt the images to fit the length and music. The slideshows created are really amazing and stunning. It is a great application for school slideshows, birthday parties etc. |

Storyboard is an easy to use program, that doesn't involve downloading anything. You can easily create picture books, with art that illustrators have posted for you to use. You get to choose the template, set of arts you want to use and it gives you a simple picture book for you to edit. It is a fun program to play around with but it could be used in english class if asked to present a visual story. |
